Thrilled to be part of this team. I've been at Hanover Park for just over three months and it's the highest velocity startup I've ever worked at. The work has been incredible so far, building AI agents that actually work in production, and we're barely scratching the surface. I couldn't be more excited about what's ahead. Also, we're hiring!

@0xBold Only problem is the dunning-kruger effect

Crypto people are either insanely smart savants or complete fucking retards and there is no middle ground

@johnlindquist Going down a similar mouse mod path right now. What mouse are you using?

I figured out I can use variables in my karabiner.edn to simulate "layers" when using mouse buttons. This changes so many of my day-to-day workflows (and allows me to ditch the trackpad for a real mouse)... For example: Hold mouse button5 then tap "s" to take a screenshot:

@krubner @levelsio You're mixing up Europe with the EU

The most concerning part about this is that most Europeans don't realize how stagnant Europe has now become Europeans are literally blue-pilled and are mostly concerned with climate change, immigration and the Ukraine war Nobody in Europe is thinking why increasingly everything they use is made in China running on American software The knee jerk reaction is to proudly pass regulation against American tech The chad reaction would be to reduce regulation so that European entrepreneurs would actually stay in Europe to build European startups increasing Europe's GDP and making Europeans richer! I am European and I have regular conversations about this with people here, it's just not on top of mind AT ALL! While it should be because Europe's GDP is stagnant and the real innovation now happens in US and China and elsewhere, not in Europe People in Europe do love to complain about rising cost of living and the increasing unaffordability of living, but they don't realize why. They point at foreigners/immigrants as the problem, which can't be the whole story Other Europeans I talk to get visibly upset if I ask them about stagnant GDP numbers: "why should everything be about money?" they say in a thick German accent The whole story is that Europe has made it very difficult for people to start a business, raise capital, innovate and get the reward for taking that risk, so why would anybody? And for the Europeans that do, it's way easier to open a US Delaware company, raise capital in US, sell your stock or IPO in the US, because why even do that in EU, where it's too hard? The proof is in the pudding, if it was so easy in EU then why is startup funding in US $270B AUM with 330 million people vs $44B AUM with 746 million people? That's almost 14x bigger startup funding market per capita Why doesn't EU have ANY trillion dollar companies? While US has six? Why isn't there any European company in the top 10 of largest companies? While 80% is American? Why is Stripe, a company founded by two Irish brothers, an American company and not a European one? It could have been Very few Europeans will agree with this post because they can't see it, if they would've seen it, we wouldn't be here in the first place! What's the role left for Europe in the future? Signed, - A techno-optimist European who'd love to see Europe become wealthy again

Our portfolio company @LiqAuctions is working with @4KProtocol to bring unique assets & experiences on-chain. Recent developments in tokenized RWAs have enabled them to operate an on-chain auction house governed by code instead of a centralized middleman. Their first unique auction for a vaulted and tokenized @Azuki Twin Tigers jacket just kicked off 👇 beta.liq.auction

Through vaulting and tokenizing with 4K, the owner of this @Azuki Twin Tigers Jacket will auction their 4K NFT on @LiqAuctions, a new bid-to-earn auction platform. It's a prime example of how we enable you to maximize the value of your RWAs.

🎓Congrats to @LiqAuctions on graduating from @0xPolygonLabs Base Camp. Learn more about their auction platform for tokenized assets ⬇️

RWA in 2023 alone grew from $700M to $6B TVL in just a year. Let's dive deeper into some of the companies building in the non-fungible real-world asset space 👇 🧵

We're partnering with @OVioHQ and @0xPolygonLabs to make auctions fun again! Imagine getting paid to bid. Imagine being able to bid on tokenized physical collectibles with or without a crypto wallet. Imagine being able to bid and talk smack to the people you're bidding against. Test launch coming soon 👀

🧵 1/ Building to Make NFTs Fun Again My co-founder @RobertNiimi started working together 3 years ago on @tryplugd, a social sneakerhead app with over 100k app installs. Last November, we decided to pivot and shift our focus to building in Web3.

First big auction on @NFTYauctions 👇

What's next? We've decided to keep working on this project to build an efficient, fun, and social way of purchasing NFTs. If you're interested in early access or just staying informed, you can find us here. • twitter – @NFTYauctions • discord – discord.gg/auXkQFgt

For the tech stack, everything was new to us but we're happy so far. 👍 • @nextjs – framework • @vercel – hosting • @getnextui – ui • @nextauthjs – auth • @MoralisWeb3 – web3 apis • @HardhatHQ – smart contract Database coming soon... • @supabase 👀

@pokgairay and I built a new project: @nftyauctions It's an NFT auction house but with a few twists • Multiple assets can be sold in a single auction • Assets are placed into escrow, guaranteeing successful asset transfer Built with @nextjs + @MoralisWeb3

@pokgairay @NFTYauctions nice

openAI or "open"AI? 1/ OpenAI's #chatgpt release will mark the beginning of the end of the golden age of open research in deep learning. This will have significant implications for LLM research going forward. Here are some thoughts from me, @vivek7ue and @rajhans_samdani 🧵

@RamaswmySridhar @OpenAI @vivek7ue @rajhans_samdani @readwise save thread

1/ #ChatGPT is closing out 2022 with a bang, but what’s next? 💥 @OpenAI’s #GPT4 is set to be the first big #AI thing in 2023. So here are some bold, optimistic, yet sensible predictions from me, @vivek7ue and @rajhans_samdani ... 👀
